Winostar



Winostar  ( ウィノスター ) is a newly entered planet in DGTO. It's also Tomone Kaoru 's home planet.

Description
Winostar is a rather independent planet that is well known for not trying to create non-commercial links with other planets. So, Winostar has mainly entered in DGTO because of the commercial advantages that it would give it.

Winostar is difficult to access and a lot of space station doesn't go there, but recently because of the increase in tourism, it's easier to get there.

It is not an easy task to leave the planet, and for that you need a special authorization from the government (most people who leave the planet are businessmen). Those who do not get permission sometimes choose to leave the planet illegally, a crime that is severely punished in Winostar.



It is told that 100 years ago, there was a Great War that divided this planet, until an famous engineer had the revolutionary idea of entrusting the management of Winostar to robots and computers.

A high-performance system keeps order. It consists in completely letting computers and robots plan the life of an individual (his studies, his job, even his ideal partner !) According to the skills of the individual concerned, probabilities and statistics calculated from his environment of life, its history, his entourage etc... To offer him "the best possible options".

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;">There is an aptitude test at age 18 that everyone is obliged to pass that will determine their life. The minority who misses it are described as "unsavory" people put aside who are considered as "parasites" for the society, it is even taboo to talk about them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-style: italic">This planet follows the doctrine "every man for himself". In fact, the inhabitants tend to be rather distant from each other, and don't seek to create human links between them, there is no spirit of mutual aid or sharing. Only pragmatism is valued; for example there are schools where there are not even teachers and where cyborgs replace them. Justice is still partly governed by humans, but those who have the final decision are robots. There are also police-robots, or robot-cleaners who replace the garbage collectors.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Winostar has little holiday, and therefore very little paid leave not required which results in several cases of "Work-addict". The robots said that this lack of relaxation was detrimental for peoples, so for some time there has been more paid time off and peoples are more encouraged to go on vacation for a few weeks in the year.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Most products exported from other planets deemed "harmful" are censored (like Mangas, Animes, Video Games, Entertainment). You have to go through the black market to hope to get it. This is because the government wants at all costs to prevent people from questioning the reliability of robots by expanding their critical thinking.

Their goal is to restore the freedom lost to the people by abolishing Winostar's current political regime. Winostar's government designates him as a pest-filled parasitic terrorist. Nevertheless, this movement is gaining more and more importance. <span style="font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;">This political movement seems to be bearing fruit as more and more people begin to doubt the Winostar's government which may become a major problem in the future.
